California phacelia, also known as California bluebell and California scorpion weed, is a perennial native to California and parts of Oregon. It has a basal rosette of leaves that produces erect flowering stems and hairy leaves, giving it a fern-like appearance. The flowers are bell-shaped and clustered in elongated, coiled inflorescences, which unfurl into a wide range of vibrant blues to purples. California phacelias thrive in a variety of habitats, including meadows, grasslands, and open woodlands. Its flowers bloom from March through August, attracting pollinators such as butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and caterpillars, providing an important food source for birds and other wildlife.
Host Plant: white-lined sphinx, bilobed lopper moth, geranium plume moth, orange tortrix moth, and many butterfly caterpillars
